I’m the footstep that lands behind you though no one walks nearby. What am I?

I’m the lullaby humming from a music box with no key. What am I?

I sit at the table with a chair pulled out, spoon in air, tea gone cold. What am I?

I’m the warning carved on bark by unseen claws. Read me aloud and storms arrive. What am I?

I’m the mirror that returns a smile you never made. What am I?

I’m the soot handprint on the chimney stone after the fire has died. What am I?
